1. Only for “Online text”
Comment inline If this option is selected, then the original submission will be copied into thefeedback comment field during grading, making it easier to comment inline (using a different color,perhaps) or to edit the original text.
2. Only for “Advanced uploading of files”
Allow deleting: By default, students can delete files before the teacher grades them.
Allow notes: If enabled, participants may enter notes into text area to make comments about theiruploaded files. This option makes “advanced uploading” the most versatile assignment type,combining the most important elements of “online text” and “single file” assignments.
Maximum number of uploaded files: Maximum number of files each participant may upload. Thisnumber is not shown to students; please write the actual number of requested files in assignmentdescription. You can set this 1-20 so you may use this assignment instead the single file upload tobenefit from the advanced feedback possibilities (with the option to upload a response file).
Enable send for marking (Recommended change it to NO): The "Send for marking" button allowsstudents to indicate that they have finished working on the assignment. Graders may choose to revertthe assignment to draft status (if it requires further work, for example). Please note that it can causeproblems if students click on this button before they are finished with the assignment so enable thisoption only if it is relevant to know that students are done (the number of files is uncertain, or there isno exact deadline).
3. Options for Turnitin AssignmentsThese special assignments have a different and more complex approach and options, please find theofficial and detailed guide at the following link:http://pages.turnitin.com/rs/iparadigms/images/Moodle_Direct_Integration_Instructor_Manual.pdf
SSTTEEPP 44. Save and return to course.You will see that a link appeared with the name of the assignment. You just have to inform your students aboutthe assignment, then grade / give feedback after the deadline.
Most common problems students can experience:Can’t upload / submit a file: Maybe the deadline is over and the “prevent late submissions” optionis set to “yes” – you can change it back to “NO” to solve this problem.Can’t change an uploaded submission: For “Advanced uploading”, you either have to “reverttheir submission to draft” or set “allow deleting” to yes. For Turnitin assignments set “reportgeneration speed” to “generate reports immediately, reports can be overwritten until due date.”
